2nd day in a row where it was STANDING ROOM ONLY on a NOW HOURLY train from the UKβs busiest station (#Waterloo) and along the busiest line (down from 3/hour pre-covid). @SW_Help keep saying they wonβt add services back because thereβs βinsufficient demandβ. Disgrace @ranil @TfL

@rmhs1000 @SW_Help I can see myself on this train thinking the same thing. Why oh why reduce the carriages down. It is on every train. In lockdown 12 carriages now just 6 or less on all trains running this route. What we pay for being sarnies !?! Sort it out and give us the service we pay for.

@SW_Help So removal of the existing coaches has began without them being replaced with the new stock? P***enger comfort has taken a dip, the guard can't walk up and down the train and there's no way ICE you can evacuate in an orderly manner

@SW_Help after last weeks 8 carriage train, today on the 8:15 train to London Waterloo you decide to put 5 carriages on! No space for those on the train standing in aisles, but you continue to stop at further stations! No apology from the guard! π€¬ prices up and service down!

@SW_Help @Redlanered @ChrisColeman343 Thing is you donβt have a date when these will be introduced and the issues are down to bigger reasons than covid delays- this proves itβs your management failures that are forcing us onto packed trains.

@TepeeWS @SW_Help @grantshapps @DfTstats They were running the long distance Portsmouth direct line and were perfect for it. They and the 444s are ideal; not too cramped. The 450s are totally inappropriate for long journeys, sat 5 abreast and no fold down trays. Not a train spotter, just a suffering commuter of 17yrs!

@westernwolf @sarahjkelly22 @SW_Help @ALLRAIL_EU A very concise summary, and yes, an inconsistency here with FirstGroup's acceptance of open access when they are the challenger. There should be an investigation into Alliance Rail's rejected bid. It won't happen though as the rail market is broken. @railandroad @CommonsTrans

@PaulCliftonBBC It is the lack of effort from @SW_Help to find a solution to the problem that is the issue. Can you imagine a supermarket returning lorries off lease if there were problems with the replacements? When Scotrail were short of trains due to late deliveries they hired some 365's

@swtrains_watch @SW_Help @grantshapps I have been reliably informed that the lack of rolling stock is mostly down to the reintroduction of a half hourly service to Weymouth, as well as the 701 not being accepted for service, that has severely impacted other services. Todays 1A49 is only 4 coaches and very full.

@EthanAfro @amf_mo @SW_Help I believe the main issue is surrounding the risk of a SPAD owing to the signal view being obscured.
Bombardier design at fault here. Windscreen wiper design should have been better considered.
